Magnificent.In not American, I can quite clearly see her skin tone is brown.
Are you American?
Sure, that's the modern interpretation.
But like the modern interpretation of racism which requires "structural inequalities" for someone to be racist,
or like the modern interpretation of gender which de-couples sex and gender
Complains about pandering while being psychologically incapable of saying "Obama is black"You'll ignore what your eyes can see to pander.
Obama is black, he was raised as 'black'. Kamala is not, she was raised as indian.
Likewise mate, I do have to give you some credit here - would have thought you'd ride in to give Bostonian a quick reach around on this by now, kudos for avoiding.Have to go ahead and stick up for bonbons here.
He may be a simpleton but he's OUR simpleton.

Magnificent.
There are quite a few brown people in America that have been called 'black' with no issues right up until last week, I wonder what changed
You sound hilarious when you try and explain these demented post-modern, post-truth concepts.That's the scientific interpretation.
I know you blokes struggle with science (climate change, evolution, vaccine efficacy, peer review etc) but there it is.
No, all people are saying here is that it's self evidently wrong to equate 'black on white' racism as being = to 'white on black racism'.
If White people in the USA had a history of being enslaved by Blacks, then disenfranchised till the Civil Rights era, subject to a Black version of KKK, rampant and entrenched discrimination etc, the inverse would be true.
Why do you cookers ignore that context and try and draw an obviously false equivalence?
Hang on.
You think gender identity is linked to biological sex?
You think boys wear blue and girls wear pink due to 'genetics'?

Oi Bostonian, when even Easty thinks your shtick is too moronic to defend it might be time for a re-think I reckon
Trouble brewing here, Bostonian could you set Flowers straight on Obama please!Obama is black, he was raised as 'black'. Kamala is not, she was raised as indian.
Again, you're not keeping up Malifice. I'm sorry I didn't go back and highlight all the past discussion in this.You campaigners really flip flop.
One minute you're claiming some kind of 'biological reality' to gender.
Next minute you're asserting a woman with a literal Black father, is not black, because 'she wasn't raised that way' biological reality be damned.
Can you see the obvious logical disconnect between those two positions?
Any thoughts on ****wits who acknowledge Obama is black, like FlowersByIrene?Nothing changed.
There's just ****wits who can't tell the difference between two colours.
No, I'm like a fly on shit over something you're saying. And will continue to be, strap inAs always you're like a fly on shit over something I'm guessing Trump said.
I have no idea what he said and really don't care. Unlike obsessed you.
I am never going to let you stop talking about this
If I wanted to be cringe I'd go with something likeYou try too hard, dial down the cringe factor.
Kamala was born Indian Jamaican but now identifies as African American.
There's also the posibility she might actually be inter race.
Again, you're not keeping up Malifice. I'm sorry I didn't go back and highlight all the past discussion in this.
In the context of American political discussions, as we are discussing Kamala and Obama. Black = African American.
While Kamala is "black" in that she is descended from someone who is black or brown or whatever. She is not African American because her father was not "African American" and she was not even raised by her father, she was raised Indian. Therefore she is not "black" in the context of our discussion with black meaning African American.
I dont understand science.
If I wanted to be cringe I'd go with something like
Obama is black.
Harris is black.
U mad bro?
But I'm way too classy for that. Much funnier just to keep asking you about it and watch you try to navigate coherent sentences while avoiding any acknowledgement that some specific black people are black
lolzI've never heard her refer to herself as African American.
She's always just called herself American.
“I’m Black, and I’m proud of being Black,” Harris said in 2019. “I was born Black. I will die Black, and I’m not going to make excuses for anybody because they don’t understand.”
Harris, whose first name is Sanskrit for "lotus," has always identified as both Indian and Black and has long embraced both cultures. She visited India regularly growing up, went to a historically Black university, was President of the Black Law Students Association and was a member of both the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and Congressional Black Caucus.
Ha, nice try. You blokes are stuck with that one I'm afraid.What an utter weirdo.
lolz
lolz
Every time I think they've reached peak ideological cookery they somehow find another gear, its actually kinda impressiveThe ****ing disconnect of the cookers on here saying 'Yes Kamila is the literal child of a Black man, but she's not really Black' in the same breath as saying 'Transwomen cant be women because they were born with a penis' is mindblowing.
You posted a quote of hers that shows she doesn't refer to herself as African American.
